Vision Drummoyne

Success Story

From 1/2 a minute to Half Marathon in 6 months.

At the age of 59 I could have been in danger of thinking that the achievement of physical fitness was something I could only dream about. I have never been a 'sporty 'person and have battled weight gain most of my adult life. It was the achievements of my daughter Elisabeth that inspired and challenged me to re-think my life-time of incorrect responses to what amounted to 'emotional' eating. 
 
Aged 27 and not seriously overweight, Elisabeth had gained a few unwanted kilos and wished to improve or recapture her former fitness level. Inspired and trained by John (Drummoyne) she went from strength to strength, gradually changing how she chose her food; her attitude to exercise and increasing her commitment to fitness. She continues to inspire and challenge me. I have lost count of the events - 1/2 marathons and tri-athalons she has completed in the last 18 months. Her enthusiasm alone has been inspirational!
 
Watching her outstanding dedication and results I could not help but want to achieve the same for myself. So in September 2008 I attended a Gaol Planning session at Drummoyne and have never looked back. Under the guidance and training of John and Charles I have achieved and sustained goal weight; am fitter than possibly - I have  ever been in my adult life; love my work and life generally; have a tonne of energy and have overcome several conditions that creep up on people my age - borderline Type 2 diabetes, cholesterol and elevated blood pressure - just to start! 
 
I am now a regular entrant in 1/2 Marathons and love what regular exercise does to and for me! Some people say they don't have enough time for exercise - I say even just a few minutes a day is an investment in health and well being that can bring great joy, happiness and sense of well being into your life - no matter what your age.
 
Finally I would like to say that I could not have achieved any of this without VISION - the fantastic team of trainers at Drummoyne
who have inspired and influenced me - and continue to keep me accountable for maintaining the happiness, well-being and energy I now enjoy. Thank you VISION!
